HardLore: Stories From Tour | Sam Ciaramitaro (DRAIN)

[@Defleshuary]

The happiest dude in the genre! Him being so stoked on stage makes it impossible to not also be stoked.

[@ultrawolflord8495]

Happiest dude in the world*

[@cliffevans2315]

Big Golden Retriever energy, and I do not mean that as a slight.

[@nottomboyd]

Also one time my band played with Drain and Rhythm of Fear in Toledo and Sam went super out of his way to make sure we knew he liked us and appreciated us playing. Guy rules

[@glennmatlock3503]

I need more Bo's cat knocking stuff over content.

[@travisM27]

Such a kind soul, always engaging with fans and kills every set.

[@z2w630]

HardLore curated Spotify playlist would be tight

[@reggieeeeeeee]

anyone else sing along with the intro every time? HARRRDLOOOOOOOOORRRRE -- stories from touuuuuurRR

[@js6527]

Stuck in my head every damn week.

[@ARogolino1]

I need a full version.

[@jbasti227]

Big yup

[@CloakedDnb]

Everytime

[@deceased___]

I’m at work saying this all the damn time

[@micdap7533]

I feel like it’s likely already planned but y’all gotta have Brendan from turnstile on!! It would be cool to hear how it’s been blowing up like they have

[@Hunter-si5bg]

Quiet, weenie

[@crooked-halo]

But...they're not hardcore anymore. I think that would be a _great_ thing to talk about with Brendan.

[@withafrown]

Minority Unit was another band that broke up after 2 really good eps, i think they also played their last show at sound and fury

[@Speakingintongves]

Hell yeah! Echo rocks so hard. Glad Bo has a solid co-host now!

[@michaelfuller9179]

I saw the drain/HOG/gulch show in SC. I went out to smoke after drain and completely missed hands of god because I didn't realize it was the same four dudes just switching instruments lol

[@connerross612]

I’m a newer fan of drain and I can’t tell you how excited I was to see my city on the tour list

[@DivineWind95]

My love for this podcast really can't be put into words. Please never stop.

[@xSMOKExEMxALLx]

The best hardcore band to come along, in a long time! 💖

[@Defleshuary]

Shockwave don't really get overt Christian. What they do get is some of the best hardcore EVER.

[@madXDave]

Sam printing the merch and then organising it, THEN SELLING. Virgo King

[@ForbiddenSpells]

I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life. HUGE LIKE!!!! DRAIN BABY

[@lardhore4482]

Spent some of the best years of my life with Sammy and he’s always been the same. Best dude. It’s crazy how much of a local phenomenon Drain was around 2015/2016. Local shows at Pergs or Subrosa packed like sardines with every person singing along to the songs off “Over Thinking”. I always knew they’d be successful some day so it’s incredible to see where they are now. #zizitveganfaaaa

[@swamps0fjersey]

Can't wait for the Wilkes Barre show on this drain tour!

[@jake_villanueva]

I’ll be at furnace in a gods hate shirt. Let’s go!

[@anawagen9788]

"drain was prepared to be killed by a spectral locomotive"

[@CATFEESH666]

Continuing the conversation of being the best podcast in the game. Thanks boys

[@MrShane666]

I loved hearing the Cahil name drop. Miss that dude haven’t seen him in a while. Not sure if you remember me from the branch street days in Sacramento Colin. I used to play drums in plead the fifth/pressure point back then

[@nicolasburroughs2823]

Dude I’ve seen you guys before. Harms Way at RBU. I used to roll with the Earth Down/Extinguish crew back in the day.

[@BrendaGonzalez-th5bm]

In oct you guys should have ghost stories from tour. Scary, creepy things that have happened during touring. Ps hardlore interview with sammy>Finn mckenty interview with sammy

[@iommic7981]

yes m

[@OathForFew]

Just saw drain lastnight, holy shit what a show

[@PizzaNife]

Super fun episode, guys!

[@nottomboyd]

My old band used to play a game where we would name a random object and someone would have to offer to sell that object to strangers in the street

[@chrislockejr]

Great episode. Do want to mention that Comeback Kid isn’t a christian band. Andrew has been pretty open that the christian phase was something from his youth, and with figure four, but not something that carried over to Comeback Kid. They are a amazing band, and I would hate for anyone to dismiss them thinking they are christian.

[@donnykillion9293]

The smile on Colin's face after Sam mentions he eats 4 pints a week

[@masterofnull9695]

it would be interesting to get someone from a band in the christian hardcore era to see how touring was for them in comparison.

[@crooked-halo]

Oh, wow, yes. There were so many _really good_ Christian bands in the 90s, Focused, Unashamed, Six Feet Deep, No Innocent Victim (toured with Hatebreed), Overcome, Headnoise, ZAO (still playing) & so many more. Punk Rock MBA did a good episode "What Killed Christian Core" but didn't touch on touring much. I miss those bands, miss that era in the 90s, but I'm riding this wave of resurgence of hardcore that's popping right now.

[@noahperkins2623]

This pod is so sick

[@cbirdsdotwav]

I love the Pequod's shout, place fuckin rocks. Great episode too boys.

[@andrewdean1598]

Petition for “vagabond pioneer roaddog” shirts.

[@BigMacUpperCut]

LMFAO the Hetfield sample after the CD’s headshot

[@garlicburger]

LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!

[@palmtreecorpse]

No Innocent Victim is still the toughest Christian hardcore band of all time

[@VAGGY8TH]

Shoutout to McConnells! Born in my hometown 🍦

[@nabseen]

Re: touring with maps, it would be cool to see Zach from Bane on here talking about that.

[@maxwelld23]

As I a California guy myself I love Sammy’s vibe but he’s also got like a bit of that New York vibe to him.

[@S3r9]

Good ol roadside records. When you toss that shit out the window.

[@VisceralCollection]

wow every man for himself mention that’s insane super og band

[@TMKTechnicolor]

I need to see that “TATTOOS” video WILD 🤣

[@trevorgill3560]

Illegal Pete’s in Denver/Boulder will feed bands playing in town

[@TheRealSaintNickNorthside]

Absolutely man, those dudes who work the colfax one are way into hardcore haha

[@adamgarcia2485]

Ayooooo, the Chikila/Chipotle hack is clutch

[@xavquo1629]

id love to see a montage of Bo saying "that's the bread and butter"

[@xavquo1629]

honestly just a Hardlore "bread and butter" montage everyone seems to say it lol

[@hurttster]

Sean Martin has met his match with who is down and ready to tour

[@mheberling5939]

The first record is so good.

[@kekethebasedcat]

Does anyone here play runescape and want to go pking together

[@itsonlyalex3254]

"As soon as the sun goes down I do." - Sam on whether or not he believes in ghosts

[@ARogolino1]

1:53 Bo breaks edge.

[@lynnpehrson8826]

Even the drain demo pretty good

[@retired_robot666]

It’s hardlore time.

[@reisanone6257]

[@rossh2386]

Yo people airdrop wild shit at new England shows lately

[@recordshape2528]

Bo slowly becoming Miles Dyson

[@bosxe]

He redeems himself at least

[@coreyforbes3341]

So Sam is the vocalist for gulch and drain ?

[@mkshft_atmsmshr]

Drummer for Gulch, vocals for Drain

[@A.T.G4LIFE]

24:32 tattoos!

[@thechantz666]

Bo’s cat in the background 😅

[@down2n0ne]

pls get durt on the podcast 🙏

[@ryanjefferies2788]

23:12 Poison the Well and Comeback Kid aren't christian bands... are they?

[@noname-ng6sj]

Andrew was/is. PTW was a wrong shout though.

[@JoGtrackriff]

The human puppy

[@dajovajr]

Chik fil a would always hook it up when touring!! I also saw somebody get a card declined and they handed their food to them anyway and said "its okay" so we would just use an old debit card or something and they would just comp it and apologize to US

[@dajovajr]

and once in columbus we got the ok from 2 chipotles. I made the dudes I was with drive me to get a 2nd burrito within a few hours of the first.

[@cliffevans2315]

Goddamn, today I learned Poison The Well was a Christian band.

[@Astralplanes575]

I'm pretty sure Bo was wrong about that

[@stevenbarragan2007]

Can someone explain the roadside records thing😂😂😂

[@iwasdozer]

i’m trying to figure it out i feel so stupid lmao

[@hookares9207]

@@iwasdozer abt 90% sure it means they threw the record out but I could be wrong

[@poomane4536]

13:35 - 13:53

[@FriggOff]

The fuck is road side records

[@stevenbarragan2007]

Brooo hahaha i need an explanation!

[@shovethedove]

This lil obscure old label that put out some under appreciated records 😂

[@j.elliott9550]

pretty sure poison the well is not a christian band

[@kekethebasedcat]

Def not a christian band

[@heartgodmedia]

100% not a Christian band haha

[@bosxe]

Sometimes, but SUPER RARELY IF EVER, i am totally wrong

[@weizen666]

grocery shopping sucks

[@KnifeLaughLove]

Vanilla army rise up 🍦

[@YesItIsIDavid]

Vanilla army continues to roll strong💪🍦💪

[@hunthropc38]

Saw a ghost at Sloss Furnaces and it freaked me out so bad I ran the other way as fast as I could! Was with a bitch ex so I just left her lol

[@EyesLikeBatailles]

Comeback kid and poison the well are Christian!?!? Fuck.

[@Astralplanes575]

Comeback Kid definitely isn't a Christian band. I'm pretty sure PTW isn't either but not 100% about that

[@golferguy1525]

These guys straight edge?

[@hatguy626]

YO PEQUODS IS WORTH THE WAIT. THAT SHITS B U S S I N. 🫡🫡🫡 also next time Taylor’s on I need to know if he still has the heavy shit/sad shit pick ups and if I can have them haha.
